¡Semana Santa está aquí!

Time is short today, but just wanted to let you all know im alive and
doing well. Sevilla is going crazy because of the Semana Santa like
there are processions all over the place and the people wait for hours
just to see the floats and stuff. Those who carry them have been
practicing since like January. I haven't seen many, just on the tv but
surely we will see them this week.

I don't know if you all remember the story about the guy who just
appeared at church a couple of weeks ago from a street invitation.
Well, he got baptized yesterday! I was super excited. We also had a
baptism here of a 17 year old girl who is awesome. She doesn't really
have any family support but as she listened to the missionaries she
felt that it was what God wanted her to do and so she did it. Her
courage and strength are pretty impressive to me as she pioneers the
way for generations to come, just like my parents did for my family.

We expect more miracles in the week to come as we prepare one of our
Nigerian friends for baptism this Saturday. Also, one of the biggest
blessings I have had is sharing the video for Easter, "hallelujah".
Every time I watch it something different calls my attention and
testifies of a simple truth of the gospel. I love it!

I hope that you all have a great week and that as you remember what
Christ did for us, you can also think about what he DOES for us today,
because he lives and I testify of that.

Love,

Elder Jenkins
